Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee

About

The Peace River Aboriginal Interagency (PRAIC) is an informal information sharing network that is hosted by Community Social Services (CSS), Northwest Alberta. There are two elements to the interagency. The monthly meeting and the email network platform. Members are invited to attend meetings when they can and sign up to receive email correspondence that helps share program, event and referral information.

We keep try to keep the information relevant to our catchment area and can share out to the other Aboriginal Interagency email networks in Grande Prairie, High Level and High Prairie when regional initiatives come up.
